21、ading (总题数：5，分数：30.00)BPassage One/BPassage OneI have an infatuation(迷恋)with autumn. The colors of the season, and the smells, have always thrilled me. I have always found joy in this time of year. The last few autumns of my life, however, I recollect in shades of gray rather than cheerful oranges a

22、nd yellows.When I became a single mother, every aspect of life took on new meaning. Since I was used to carrying out most of the parental duties without much help during my marriage, I truly did not foresee how different parenting would become after the marriage was over. But suddenly I realized I w

23、as a statistic. The daily routine was not changed so much; it was the angle at which I had begun to look at life.I believed my ex-husbands lawyer was tracking every grade the children made, and I was under a microscope in this new town where the children and I moved our “broken home.“ I feared havin

24、g to eventually establish my family with each new teacher and each new term as a single-parent family. I just wanted to be us again, without the stigma (特征)of the label that put on us.During those few gray years, I would reassure myself that soon things would be better, and that I would someday be a

25、ble to feel whole again. There is no mathematical equation of adults proportioned to children to equal a stable, loving family. Every family has its strengths. In fact, studies show that in families who read together, eat together and communicate openly, children are likely to succeed academically,

26、as well as socially and emotionally. I am sure these, habits are just as effective when practiced in single-parent families. I realize now that I am not a statistic. We are an active, vital family in this charming community, where we are not marked by any stigma of any statistics of any focus groups

27、.We are given opportunity, all of us. We are surrounded by beauty and immersed in possibility. There is joy to be found here, in what we see around us and in creating our own rendition of how we want to be seen. There is strength and grace in our own willingness to break free from conformity without

28、 falling behind the barriers of self-imposed limitations or preconceived notions of where we should fit in this world according to research.（分数：6.00）(1).What does the last sentence of paragraph one imply?（分数：1.00）A.The author moved to a new place.B.The climate changed greatly in the last few years.C

29、.In the last few years, the authors mood changed.D.There were some natural disasters.(2).After the divorce,_.（分数：1.00）A.there wasnt any change, since she used to play a main part in taking care of the childrenB.she became interested in statisticsC.everything in her life was changedD.it was the way b

30、y which she looked at life that changed(3).According to the passage, _ brought the unpleasant change in her life.（分数：1.00）A.a kind of discrimination against single-parent familiesB.her ex-husbandC.social scientistsD.the feeling about autumn(4).In the few gray years, the author（分数：1.00）A.felt helples

31、s and sadB.had the help from her friendsC.never lost hope, and believed that everything would change somedayD.became very nervous and silent(5).In the last paragraph, the phrase “self-imposed limitations or preconceived notions“ may possibly refers to（分数：1.00）A.a complete family would have a happier

32、 lifeB.a single mother would carry out the parental duties more successfullyC.a single parent family is marked by stigmas and different from those complete families in every aspect of lifeD.a complete family would bring up brighter children(6).What is the authors main point?（分数：1.00）A.Every family h

33、as its happiness and unhappiness.B.Her family has suffered a lot.C.Her ex-husband is not a good man.D.Every family has its strength and can create its happiness.BPassage Two/BAsk why most people are right-handed, and the answer might fall along the same lines as why fish school(鱼成群地游). Two neuroscie

34、ntists suggest that social pressures drive individuals to coordinate their behaviors so that everyone in the group gets an evolutionary edge.Approximately 85 percent of people prefer their right hand, which is controlled by the left hemisphere of the brain. One theorized benefit of locating a partic

35、ular function in one hemisphere is that it frees the other to deal with different tasks. But that idea does not explain why. population-wide trends for handedness exist in the first place.Moreover, evidence gleaned in recent years has overturned the long-held belief that human handedness is a unique

36、 by-product of brain specialization attributable to language. A suite of studies has revealed brain lateralization in species from fish to primates(灵长类). Last August, for instance, scientists discovered that in the wild, chimpanzees show hand preferences.The presence of lateralization throughout the

37、 animal kingdom suggests some benefit from it, contend neuroscientists Giorgio Vallortigara of the University of Trieste and Lesley Rogers of the University of New England in Australia. Also, last August, in the journal Behavioral and Brain Sciences, the two presented evidence to support their idea

38、that social constraints force individuals toward asymmetry in the same direction. They noted, for example, that baby chickens attack more readily when a threat appears on their left. And Rogers has found that chicks with more asymmetrical brains form more stable social groups: perhaps by approaching

39、 each other on the right, she hypothesizes, the chicks fight one another less and are more likely to notice predators.Lateralization seems to confer an advantage for some fish as well. In certain species, the majority tend to swim left when a predator attacks, whereas other species head right. The p

40、otential benefits of such patterns may not seem intuitive: a predator could learn that attacking a fish on one particular side is more effective. But Vallortigara and Rogerss idea fits with the conventional explanation of why fish school at all. When threatened, fish turning in the same direction ha

41、ve a greater chance of survival than if they scatter to become a darting swarm of head-butting fish.Nevertheless, the bird and fish. data do not explain human handedness.“The issue then becomes: maybe this lateralization long predates the rise of the mammals,“ speculates Robin Dunbar ,an evolutionar

42、y psychologist at the University of Liverpool in England.（分数：6.00）(1).Fish school suggests that _.（分数：1.00）A.it was a necessary evolutionary processB.it has something to do with human right-handednessC.they need to coordinate with other fishD.their brain function is unique(2).Locating a particular f

43、unction in one hemisphere _.（分数：1.00）A.does not explain why handedness is such an overwhelming trendB.does not explain why 85%people are right-handedC.shows that human handedness is a unique by product of brainD.enable people to think with the other hemisphere(3).What are the second finding of Giorg

44、io Vallortigara and Lesley Rogers?（分数：1.00）A.Lateralization of animals.B.The human handedness and animal lateralization present common features.C.animal species suffer from lateralization.D.social conditions led to the lateralization of animal species.(4).Due to _, human handedness is not a exclusiv

45、e phenomenon in animal world.（分数：1.00）A.brain lateralization found in species from fish to primatesB.different brain structures of speciesC.brain specialization attributable to languageD.the asymmetrical brains of Chimpanzees(5).Why are baby chickens so prepared in fighting against enemies from left

46、?（分数：1.00）A.Because other members stand on the right side.B.Due to surrounding conditions their brain developed toward asymmetry in the same direction.C.Because enemies always attack from left side.D.Because they can spare more attention to locate predator.(6).What can be the best title for this pas

47、sage?（分数：1.00）A.Hand Preference of Chimpanzees.B.Human Handedness and Animal Lateralization.C.The Myth behind Human Handedness.D.An Unique Animal Behavior.BPassage Three/BFriction between Americas military and its civilian overseers is nothing new. Americas 220-year experiment in civilian control of

48、 the military is a recipe for friction. The nations history has seen a series of shifts in decision-making power among the White House, the civilian secretaries and the uniformed elite (精英). However, what may seem on the outside an unstable and special system of power sharing has, without a doubt, b

49、een a key to two centuries of military success.In the infighting dates to the revolution, George Washington waged a continual struggle not just for money, but to control the actual battle plan. The framers of the Constitution sought to clarify things by making the president the “commander in chief.“ Not since Washington wore his uniform and led the troops across the Alleghenies to quell(镇压)the Whiskey
